The rivalry between India and China is mostly economic. Nepal has neither a large economy nor much natural resources, so no.

However, this will worry a lot of people here in India. Nepal alone might not mean much, but China has been getting closer to Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Bangladesh, Bhutan and of course Pakistan. To be fair, this is partly our fault - we took these countries' support for granted and failed to treat them with due respect.

Multiple clones. Otherwise the paper would be McCarty & McCarty.

This seems way off. Our World in Data estimates that the US has 3708 warheads in total. That's enough to hit every major city in the world, but not enough to 'completely envelop the earth with nuclear fire 37 times over'. Of course, the radiation will reach much further.

It's because paintings exhibited in museums are covered by glass, so they know it won't cause any lasting damage.

Did you, by any chance, call him Ishmael?

Jail, hopefully.

All Ghibli films are about pacifism and respecting nature.

Could handsome male characters be aimed at female players?

No, it's clearly gay propaganda.

Nantucket (pop 14,255 according to Wikipedia) and Los Alamos (13,179)

Not sure about this particular textbook, but ours did explain what open-source is. So I'm guessing it might have been covered in a previous chapter.

The problem is that India has many local languages. So you need one language, equally foreign to everyone (so no one has an unfair advantage) for things like federal laws, national-level competitive exams and inter-state communication (each state is, in theory, composed of the people speaking one language). English conveniently fits that bill.

We almost had civil war in the 1960s over this. The compromise was that (1) India has no national language, (2) all federal documents would be in both English and Hindi (the biggest Indian language) and (3) all schools must teach any three languages, including English.

My computer science textbook in school called the entire tower as the CPU.

If I remember correctly supermassive black holes do consume space and can be quite large. They can also be much less dense than neutron stars, let alone stellar black holes.

This is horrible. They are building a line connecting some small towns and plan to use it as a proof of concept? That could work as an engineering proof of concept, but without a guaranteed budget people are going to see it as a commercial failure and write it off.

Gobi manchurian was made by Cantonese merchants in Kolkata.

Which ending? The OG show, the movie, or the rebuilds?

OG show had humanity almost lose multiple times because someone at NERV was being a dick. The ending was about Shinji figuring out how to connect to people, not about the war.

Movie had SEELE backstab humanity, and humans only survive because Shinji's mother (the only sane character in the show, also coincidentally a civilian) saw the writing on the wall and came up with an absolutely insane plan that worked, at the cost of her life and Shinji's sanity.

Rebuild is weird even by Evangelion standards, and I think at this point Anno is trolling the 'fans' who want a conventional happy ending with Shinji and Asuka getting married or what not.

The first time you do something, you also need to learn how to do it, set up production lines, make mistakes, learn from them, and build up expertise. The US is only starting to build high-speed rail, while China has the biggest high-speed rail network in the world. I would call it a step in the right track (hehe), although one that should have been taken years ago.

None as far as I know. But then we enforce speed limits less with rules and more with potholes, traffic jams and narrow roads, so it's a moot point.

It's actually quite easy. Just focus on the victims rather than the killers. Come and see, Grave of the Fireflies, Catch-22, All quiet on the Western Front, …

The most violent ape probably got murdered once he pissed off enough other apes. But the ape that used violence strategically is probably the ancestor of today's leaders.
